If you're trying to encode at very low bitrates, you're kinda' have to go HEVC. But... based on my quality/size testing, at higher bitrates you have to have close to the same file size in both X264 and X265 to keep the same SSIM.

Wonder why all the 4K stuff is H.265 then if there is no optimization of the file sizes. Does H.265 only show huge gains when you are using higher resolutions? |

I have to say except for a few instances looking at the big box stores HUGE 70" and above displays I have been under-whelmed with much of an improvement in detail, unless you get really CLOSE. Yes I see the improvement in the color, and contrast but so many movies now are so color graded and filmed in available light with digital cameras that all the "detail" is lost anyway. Then throw in the fact that there is no 3D, no way to BD Rebuilder or even playback on your PC and I'm ready to sit this round of upgrading out, at least for the moment.

I'm still using a 60" Pioneer plasma TV, the new 4K LCDs don't look any better to my 50 year old eyes. I'm really looking forward to HDR and the increased color space, once media is available I can see upgrading.

Other than HDR modes for 4K displays, it is indeed hard to tell the difference between 2K and 4K, until you get into displays that are larger than 100". Specifically home theaters with larger screens using projectors. I'll have to win PowerBall before I'll be able to build a new home with a built-in theater, using a professional 4K theater projector (with 3D ). |

@ MrVideo RE: Something wrong with using available sun light when outside? Besides, you can't "film" with digital cameras. I've never found a way to put film in them. In any event, how can detail be lost?
No I think good old sunlight is the way to go but I was specifically talking about all the films (IE: I meant that in a general way not literally "filmed" with film.) that want to use something like candle light when shooting a scene. I REALLY hate the strobing effect and the lack of any detail. Don't even get me started with the shaky cam cuts using what appears to be a low resolution handicam. I am also pissed when I watch something like Lost City of Z and the color grading has robbed even most of the "probably" gorgeous outdoor shots of the amazon into a green washed out mess. Then all the interior shots were so low light there wasn't a lot of details of what was some probably pretty good looking set pieces. I get they the director and photographer were going for a "French painter Claude Lorrain was an aesthetic influence on the film's design. Khondji said he purposely designed mythical images of skies that Lorrain may have painted that are filled with gold, red, and blue (or a combination of them) effect BUT what about giving me a decent looking film anyway. I even played with the color and contrast gamma setting trying to better be able to see the movie. I wish everything would just look like it was supposed to look instead of being so artsy fartsy. |

As for strobing, again that it up to the director and the director of photography as to what shutter speed will be used. You can get a strobe effect with film cameras as well. Again, by setting the shutter speed. |

Now, Mr. Video... we all KNOW that the director, etc., can do anything they want. C'mon Bro, that's kind of stating the obvious... But, when they happen to choose to do something with the aesthetics that a person really doesn't like, well, that is what the fellow above is talking about. For example, the 'nice' Dutch fellow who gave us 'THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE' clearly chose to portray what some of us would find quite disgusting. So, just blindly saying, 'well, he's the director and can do what he wants', is all good and true. BUT... as the fellow above says, we don't HAVE to like it! |

Running into an issue with 10-bit x264 files (mkvs won't even import, ts files are imported). BD_Rebuilder isn't recognizing them as 10 bit when I try to encode them as Blurays - instead, if the disc size selected is larger than the file I imported, it just remuxes.

True, you can easily dislike the result. You can also not bother going to a movie presentation from a director that you know produces product that you do not like.
You can also go on IMDB and write a negative review. |

I know that 10 bit isn't supported for bluray. What I am trying to do is convert a 10-bit mkv (or .ts) to an 8- bit bluray. BDRB recognizes the file as AVC encoded. The file is 9.22 GB, Hi10P Level 5.0 When setting BDRB to fit a BD25, the program chooses to keep the original video (even though it isn't BD-Compliant). |
